Conodon, from Ancient Greek κῶνος (kōnos), meaning "cone", and ὀδούς (odoús), meaning "tooth", is a genus of grunts native to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the Americas. The currently recognized species in this genus are: Conodon macrops Hildebrand, 1946 (lemoneye grunt) Conodon nobilis Linnaeus, 1758 (barred grunt) Conodon serrifer D. S. Jordan & C. H.

Anoplotherium is the type genus of the extinct Palaeogene artiodactyl family Anoplotheriidae, which was endemic to Western Europe. It lived from the Late Eocene to the earliest Oligocene. It was the fifth fossil mammal genus to be described with official taxonomic authority, with a history extending back to 1804 when its fossils from Montmartre in Paris, France were first described by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier. Discoveries of incomplete skeletons of A. commune in 1807 led Cuvier to thoroughly describe unusual features for which there are no modern analogues. His drawn skeletal

Lophiodon is an extinct genus of perissodactyls and the type genus of the Lophiodontidae, one of two major clades of the extinct suborder Ancylopoda. It, like the rest of the family, was endemic to western Europe and lived from the Early to Middle Eocene. Fossils of Lophiodon were first studied in 1804 when the French palaeontologist Georges Cuvier thought that they belonged to tapirs. After initially classifying the formally recognized species to Palaeotherium in 1812, Cuvier named the genus in 1822 based on the hill-like cusps on its molars. Many fossil species were named and assigned to Lop

The galjoen, black bream, or blackfish (Dichistius capensis) is a species of marine fish found only along the coast of South Africa, Namibia and Angola. Galjoen is the national fish of South Africa.

Adapis is an extinct adapiform primate from the Eocene of Europe. While this genus has traditionally contained five species (A. magnus, A. bruni, A. collinsonae, A. parisiensis, and A. sudrei), recent research has recognized at least six morphotypes that may represent distinct species. Adapis holds the title of the first Eocene primate ever discovered. In 1821, Georges Cuvier, who is considered to be the founding father of paleontology, discovered Adapis in fissure fillings outside of Paris, France. Given its timing and appearance in the fossil record, Cuvier did not recognize the primate affi
